DQ: Eco-focused

Brimming with educational content, there is a powerful environmental theme running throughout the first issue of 2008 as DQ takes a look at the latest breakthroughs, trends and solutions in responsible design.

Highlights include feature articles on reducing your environmental footprint by Youna Angevin Castro, flat-packing furniture feature by Hande Renshaw, and planning for longevity in fit-outs and refurbishment by Kirsty Máté.

This issue also asks select design professionals the provocative question: “Is this ’GREEN’ phenomenon just another passing trend in the design world or do you think it’s here to stay?”
